UN Condemns violence in CAR capital, Bangui


An outbreak of violence in the capital of the Central African Republic, Bangui, which led to the deaths of over a dozen people has been condemned by the UN.

The humanitarian office, OCHA, said the security situation remains tense in many neighborhoods following renewed clashes on Saturday.

The spike in insecurity is preventing humanitarian activities from taking place in Bangui and access to the most vulnerable people remains limited.

More than 380,000 people are displaced overall in the country and more than 460,000 others have fled to neighboring states.
